| From enriched soil sample? | Yes |
| Isolation Temperature | 30°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 33.0056 N, 97.1948 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | The soil sample I gathered was from the garden in my backyard back home. I gathered the sample at 6:28 pm and it was 94 degrees Fahrenheit. The sample I gathered was picked up by a plastic spoon and scooped into the bag. The sample I gathered was very dry and grainy. It was very thin dirt with some chunks of fertilizer. |
| Naming Notes | The reason why I named my phage "Koya" is because it s the name of a koala character from Korea. It's characteristics compose of being very wise and knowledgeable and I thought it was appropriate since it is a science research lab. |
| Sequencing Information | |
| Sequencing Complete? | No |
| Genome length (bp) | Unknown |
| Character of genome ends | Unknown |
| Fasta file available? | No |
| Characterization | |
| Cluster | Unclustered |
| Subcluster | -- |
| Lysogeny Notes | My plaques never showed a sign of being a lysogenic phage so I never had to perform the lysogeny test. So my phage is most likely a lytic phage since the morphology of my plaques were clear and there was nothing growing on the inside of the plaque. |
| Annotating Institution | Unknown or unassigned |
| Annotation Status | Not sequenced |
| Plaque Notes | My typical plaque is usually around the average size of 1 millimeters. Each plaque was circular and always had clean cut edges so they were never ridged. |
| Has been Phamerated? | No |
